Say No Violence Against Children!!!
My heart is heavy as I type this. 😔
As a young person who grew up in a safe environment, I am deeply saddened and outraged by the alarming rise in cases of r**e and child abuse making waves across our country in recent times.
As kids growing up, we could move and go about freely — playing in neighbourhoods, walking to school, or visiting neighbors and relatives, returning back home after long hours, without living in constant fear.
Today, that sense of safety has been shattered. Innocence is being stolen, futures destroyed, and families broken. This is not the Cameroon we know or want for our next generation. We did not, in any way, bargain for this!
Unpleasant news everywhere, everyday! At a certain moment, one even becomes scared of coming online, let alone, listen to the news.
To the perpetrators: Describing your actions as cowardly, and evil, I think is an understatement. What motivates you to carry out such acts?
As it stands, the cries of these innocent children demand justice. We will not stay silent while such monsters prey on the vulnerable.
To our government, the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and the Family, security forces, and the justice system: This is now a national emergency!.
We need urgent action — stronger laws, faster investigations, swift prosecutions, and deterrent punishments.
Our children and younger ones, deserve the same peace and freedom we enjoyed growing up. Enough of delays and lip service!
To every responsible Cameroonian: Let us rise up together. Report abuse when you see or suspect it. Teach our boys respect, consent, and moral responsibility from a young age.
Support survivors with compassion. Break the culture of silence that protects criminals. Let us restore the Cameroon where every child can play safely and every woman can live without fear.
This disturbing trend must stop now. The soul and future of our nation depend on how we protect the most vulnerable.
Share if you stand against this evil. Let’s amplify the voices of the voiceless and fight for a safer Cameroon. 🇨🇲
Just a concerned young journalist, committed to social responsibility and positive change.
